use eraser tool to erase parts overlaping the frame and elements - leave top part of tube thereselect original tube underneath frame - use eraser tool carefully to erase parts overlapping frame and elementsadd copyright - I used times new roman size 8 - I use a slight gradient glow on all my copyrights from eyecandy 4000 you dont have to

Select copy of tube, use eraser tool to erase extra over the frames and the heart element.

C&P Glittersplat01, resize 50% and place in upper left of frames, dropshadow, duplicate, image flip, image mirror, merge down and drag layer to bottom of layers so its behind frames tube and paper.

Add all the elements you want, be creative, go crazy! Remember lots of elements and placing stuff over tubes makes it hard for pirates to steal!

Add your copyrights, I use timesnewroman size 8 and I put a gradient glow and drop shadow on it then image, rotate, free rotate to the right and moved it over.

Now its time for the name! This is where im hoping to teach ya something new thats not in my other tuts yet!

I used font: Care Bear Family and used the color picker to choose a purple and dark blue from the tag. I hid my foreground and choose my background as a gradient: foreground/background angle 134 with 4 repeats.

Add your text, Convert to raster layer, duplicate!

Highlight the original text go to effects, texture effects and Mosaic Glass, use these settings:

Highlight the duplicated text, go to effects, texture effects and tiles, use these settings:

Add the following glass, gradient glow and then drop shadow settings:

Merge down the two text layers together, use mover tool to place at bottom of frames and save that smexy looking tag!

Siggy Showdown is having a blog train with their members woot! Here are some snags I made for the blog train. You can get to the blog HERE. Not everyone has their items up yet but they will so so check back often!

I made these with the awesome artwork of Keith Garvey. This one is a exclusive for Siggy Showdown but you may purchase his other work at PTE

I used a FTU scrapkit from Addictive Pleasures called Punkky you can get it HERE

Select all, float, defloat on rectangle layer, paste paper 6 as new layer, resize 80%. Selections invert, edit and clear. Make sure you close off the original rectangle layer or else it will look crappy showing a bit of the orginal on the sides of the paper.

Select all, float, defloat on center rectangle layer, paste paper 23 as new layer, resize 80%, Selections invert, edit and clear and close off original layer.

OOOoooo lookie there, we forgot to add drop shadow to the rectangle layer we just did...again....I always do this shiznit! So, go back and add the dropshadow settings from before to the layer.

Apply hue and saturation settings as before on the thin rectangle layer. Apply color balance, manual color correction settings as before on same layer except change target to: #fb4472Drop shadow that biatch! Because this iz wat we do ;)

Select all, float, defloat, make a new raster layer with the properties of overlay from the drop down. Set your foreground color to: #ff6791 and your background color to: #b596e6. Click up on the foreground color block, change it to gradient with settings: Foreground-background Angle: 134, Repeats 4 and make sure style is the first block with the link going across.

Flood fill your new raster over the frame with the gradient. Select none.

STOP dooooooont you dare close out the original layer this time we need it to keep the bevel in the template ;)

On frame back layer, select all, float, defloat omg this gets repeatitive again hah! Paste paper 1 as new layer, resize 80%, selections, invert and edit clear. Close off the original layer.

Repeat above on layer raster 18.

Go back and add a drop shadow to the original frame layer.

Alright looking smexy so far already! Now that all our papers are on there time to add elements and tubes woot woot

Slap that sexy ass tube that your using on there, where ever you wish. I placed mine right at the bottom of the black rectangle. Add a drop shadow :D

Now you can use more than 1 tube from the same artist if you purchased them from the same licenses company, but if you dont, dont worry and just use the same tube over on the frames. I am going to be using different Verymany tubes because I have sooo many! (yes I am a huge verymany addict! hehehe

Paste tube 1 as new layer, resize as needed, select all, float defloat on the frame background layer. Move tube how you want in the top frame. selections, invert, edit clear. My tube was big enough to cover all three frames so ima just leave it as that for this time because it looks good.

Do the same for the bottom frame with a diff tube or same one. Make sure you smexy biatches drag those tube layers down below the frame layer and above the frame background layer.

Select all, float defloat on the small stars layer, new raster layer flood fill with the gradient as before. Close off original. Add eyecandy glass, gradient glow and drop shadow settings as before.

Now here comes the fun part and PSP is all about creativity right? I dont want to "restrict" anyones creativity so from here on out, add whichever elements YOU smexy ho's want! Have fun with it, go all out or keep it simple! Its your creation right?!?! So, get to it just make sure you add dropshadows to all the elements since your wanting to learn how to make freaking awesome tags like me ;)

Ok all done?? Awesome, now add your credits anywhere on the tag. Make sure the credit is VISABLE! I use times new roman, size 8 in the gradient colors from before, and apply the eyecandy glass, gradient and drop shadow settings.

Make sure you save this freakin smexy tag as a .png or .psd file so you can add all your fans and friends or even foes if you have any!!! names on it :D yes I said it, give your foes tags, even if they dont want them, KILL them with kindess! ;)

Now we are going to add our text! I used font size 72 and font GiddyupStd. I changed the foreground color to #434343 and left the background as the purple one, with the same gradient settings.

VIOLA! We are done! Isnt that one awesome smexy tag you got now?!?! Now go show it off and let them know you made it after this tutorial and send em to my blog I can use some more smexy biatches and hos!
